A DAY OF RECKONING.
The newly-hatched Republican
campaign managers are busy circu
lating reports that prominent Re
publicans in the various precincts
who were not satisfied with the
course pursued by the recent con
vention havo lain down and are
now willing to follow the new
leadership. These managers know
this is not so, but they are In such
dire straits that they aro catching
at straws like drowning men. For
instance, they will go to Inde
pendence and tell that everybody
, is working with them in Dallas
and then come back to Dallas and
report that the Kepublicans in
Independence are all lining up
with them in good shape, Pretty
soon some Dallas man who is
opposed to their methods will meet
an Independence man who is like
wise opposed, and, after comparing
notes, each will find that there has
been no change of sentiment in
either town. The fact of the matter
is, there has not been a single
change of importance in either town
or in any precinct in Polk county
since the Republican convention
two months ago.
The campaign this year differs
from any that has ever been held
in Polk county before. Men whose
loyalty to the Republican party is
beyond question are sick and tired
of this mugwump leadership and
refuse to be whipped into doing the
will of a few would-be bosses who
are in the party only for what they
can get out ot it. lhey are tired
of the tricking and trading that
has brought the Republican party
one defeat after another, when
victory might as well have been
written upon its banners. These
men have fought honestly and
earnestly for the success of the
Republican ticket in pastcampaigns
only to be tricked out of it at the
last moment by a little handful of
selfish men who care nothing for
the welfare of the Republican party.
Honest Republicans all over the
county have become completely
disgusted with the continued
trickery of these men, and it re
quired only the arrogant conduct of
That
Tired Feeling
Is a Common Spring Trouble.
It's a sign that tho blood is deficient

It's a warning, too, which ouly the

a few cheap bosses in the last con
vention to cause them to decid
that now. if ever, is the lime to
bring these bosses to their senses
by giving them the dose they have
so lone deserved. The minds of
these Kepublicans are now mad
up, and no amount of pleading and
beeeins can change them. The
time has come for a reckoning, and
a reckoning will be had. Vain
the effort of a few self-constituted
leaders to cry and wheedle these
workers into forgiving a wrong lor
which there was no earthly excuse
in the first nlace. The men who
counseled harmony arid good-wi
and the best interests of the party
in the county convention are not
in a forgiving mood this year and
will not lightly pass over ant
condone the slights and insults
heaped upon the minority in tha
convention by the leaders of the
victorious faction,
Not all the men who participated
with the majority in the Republican
convention are to he held responsible
for what occurred. I here are many
Republicans who are in nowise to
blame for the course pursued by
the convention leaders. There are
no differences to heal in the rank
and file of the party, and no trouble
will be reached in getting together
on a common ground two years
from now if a few upstart bosses
are laid on the shelf in this plection
There is nothing the matter with
the Republican party as a party in
Polk county, but it will never be in
a shapo to reap victories for the
whole ticket until some of these
selfish schemers are buried too
deep for resurrection. That is' just
what the party intends to do next
Monday.
The Republican campaign man
agers make use of the columns of
the Itemizer at a given price per
line or inch and then have Walter
Lyon copy the matter into the En
terprise and credit it as the person
ai opinions 01 tne itemizer man.
In others words, these managers
write articles, and then have Lyon
reprint their stuff. The Ohserveii
does not blame them for pursuing
this unusual com so. these man
agers are extremely desirous of en
dorsement. No paper would do it
for them so they endorse them
selves, and pay for it at so much a
line. They can't get endorsement
any other way, so they simply buy
it. The Observer has given them
about $500 worth of space for noth
ing since the April convention, but
it is evidently not the kind of ad
vertising they are looking for.
They want somebody to say that
they are good fellows, and they are
going to have it said if it takes the
whole Democratic Itemizer.
that the right would not be granted
at any price. When an agent ap
pointed by the council visited
judge Boise in Salem and suggest
ed that the people of Dallas felt
that they were entitled to the small
favor asked, thisaged and parsimon
ious Judge who has been drawing
down 3000 a year for 30 or 40
years from the public treasury
coldv answered that he "owed Dal
las nothing." Now, Judge Boise is
asking a favor ot the people of Dal
las, and it is the duty of the people
to inform him that they "owe him
nothing," and that on election day
they will pay the amount due.
The jury in the damage caseaward
ed Judge Boise one dollar, and the
city paid it. That dollar ia the
last thing he should ever get out of
the people of Dallas.
Look out for the campaign liarl
If anybody comes to you at this
late day in the game and tells you
some personal story reflecting up
on any candidate jr. either ticket,
it will be pretty safe to take it for
granted that it is not so. Great
injustice is often done to worthy
candidates by listening to the tales
of unprincipled liars, sprung at the
last moment before, ejection, and
afttr the election is over it is then
everlastingly too late to right the
wrong. Don't believe much that
you hear about any candidate's
personal character between now
and next Monday night.
Tt is strange what some news
papers will do for money, and
yet many publishers wonder why
newspapers nowadays do not have
more influence. When the day
comes that publishers will refu
to sell an inch of editorial space or
a line of editorial opinion, the peo
pie will respect the newspapers as
they should be respected, and un
worthy politicians and misfit candi'
dates will oe leu to meir own
resources, which are usually slim
Fortunately for the dignity of the
newspaper business, the number of
publishers who will prostitute their
columns for hire is small and
rapidly growing smaller. A self
respecting newspaper man usually
finds his ollico full of profitable
business without having to resort
to the sale of editorial space to
political shysters.
The imported editor of the Inde
pendence Enterprise, who was sent
into Polk county to help carry out
the Bchemes of undesirable and
broken-down Republican office
seekers, endeavors to criticize th
course pursued by the Ousehvkk in
the campaign now drawing to
close The Odsekvek cares nothing
for the criticism of this editor, one
way or the other, and will continue
to pursue the course that it con
siders best for the permanent good
of the Republican patty as it has
always done in the past, ihis
paper has been advocating Repub
lican principles and working for
Republican success for the last six
teen years, and it will be here advo
cating these principles when the
imported scribbler over at Inde
pendence is gone and forgotten.
Cheap politicians and cheap
editors come and go, but the news
paper that wears no mans doj
collar and conducts it business up
on business principles, like lenny
son's brook, goes on forever.
Judge Boise should not receive a
single vote in Dallas. His refusal
to grant the right-of-way for the
pipe line for the city waterworks
and his work in lnlluencing other
property owners to likewise refuse,
forced the city into a long and ex
pensive law suit, delayed the work
eeveral months and made it neces
sary to issue bonds to the amount
of 115,000 insteadof:fl2,000. The
city officers made every reasonable
and honorable ettori to induce
Judge Boise to permit the pipe to
cross his land, and made him an
offer of 1400 for the privilege, hop-
ng thereby to keep the matter out
of court. The ollieers did not fetl
that Judge Boise would be injured
to the extent of anything like 1400,
but they desired to proceed with the
work and avoid expensive litiga-
ion. Every off r met a positive
refusal, and the city was informed

The light showers of the last few
days have benefited tho crops to a
small extent, but tho farmers are all
wishing for a good.heavy downpour of
rain. The Spring-sown grain is need
ing rain badly, and the Fall grain Is
not making the growth that it should,
but it is believed that the present cool
weather will give it a fresh start and
that an average crop will be harvested
this Fall.
A more enjoyable picnic has never
been given in Polk county than the
one held at Ballston last Saturday.
Tho weather was fine, the program
was interesting, and there was a large
crowd in attendance. The motor
made a special trip and carried many
people from Dallas and points south.
The success of the picnic is largely
due to tho efforts of Harry II. Belt, the
energetic young principal of the
Ballston public school.
David Calbreath, owner of the Inde

long, and the light plant and a large
grist mill are located at the lower end
of it. No attention has been paid to
the ditch for the last 25 years, and the
mill has heretofore been operated only
during the Winter months. Mr. Cal
breath says there will be a plentiful
supply of water tho year round as
soon as the present work is completed.
The electricity is conveyed to Inde

seven and one-half miles ia length.
Tho Sidney water power is among tho
